Paddy Dougal

Paddy Dougal was a truck driver and an International Brotherhood of Teamsters member. On 30 July 1975, the American Mafia hired him to take out Jimmy Hoffa at a roadhouse diner in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, and Dougal waited at the diner, pretending that his cab was missing a part. He talked with Hoffa's associate Bobby Ciaro in the diner, and Ciaro took a liking to him after some initial friction. Ciaro told Dougal to call his boss and tell him that Ciaro wanted them to deliver the part to Dougal immediately, and Dougal thanked Ciaro. Ciaro told Dougal that he knew Hoffa, and he invited Dougal to thank Hoffa himself, giving him a tray of coffee and telling him to head to a car in the parking lot and thank the man there - Hoffa. Dougal walked over to the car, and he placed the tray on the roof, worrying Ciaro. Dougal then drew a silenced pistol and shot Hoffa twice in the chest before shooting him once in the forehead. Dougal then shot Ciaro dead in the parking lot, and he threw his body in the car's trunk before moving the car into the cab's trailer for disposal.
